  2. Cooling bath - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooling_bath

    Cooling baths are generally one of two types: (a) a cold fluid (particularly liquid nitrogen, water, or even air) — but most commonly the term refers to (b) a mixture of 3 components: (1) a cooling agent (such as dry ice or ice); (2) a liquid "carrier" (such as liquid water, ethylene glycol, acetone, etc.), which transfers heat between the ...

    Salt is a common method for clearing ice, as it causes the ice to melt and break apart, making it easier to remove. However, it is only effective when the temperature is above 15 degrees Fahrenheit.

  4. Deicing - Wikipedia

Anti-icing is the application of chemicals that not only de-ice but also remain on a surface and continue to delay the reformation of ice for a certain period of time, or prevent adhesion of ice to make mechanical removal easier.

  5. Saponification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saponification

    The hydroxide anion adds to the carbonyl group of the ester. The immediate product is called an orthoester. Saponification part I. Expulsion of the alkoxide generates a carboxylic acid: Saponification part II. The alkoxide ion is a strong base so the proton is transferred from the carboxylic acid to the alkoxide ion, creating an alcohol:

  7. Dry ice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_ice

    Dry ice is typically produced in three standard forms: large blocks, small (1 ⁄ 2 or 5 ⁄ 8 in [13 or 16 mm] diameter) cylindrical pellets and tiny (1 ⁄ 8 inch [3.2 mm] diameter) cylindrical, high surface to volume pellets that float on oil or water and do not stick to skin because of their high radii of curvature.

  8. Cloud seeding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_seeding

    The most common chemicals used for cloud seeding include silver iodide, [2] potassium iodide and dry ice (solid carbon dioxide). Liquid propane, which expands into a gas, has also been used. It can produce ice crystals at higher temperatures than silver iodide.

  9. Food drying - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_drying

    Water is traditionally removed through evaporation by using methods such as air drying, sun drying, smoking or wind drying, although today electric food dehydrators or freeze-drying can be used to speed the drying process and ensure more consistent results.
